Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for quantitatively determining fuel film deposited on the walls of the intake manifold of an electro-injector engine with controlled ignition (Port Fuel Injected engine).
- a good control of the air/fuel ratio, with minimum variations with respect to the stoichiometric value, is essential for maximizing the conversion efficiency of the catalytic three-fold exhaust.
- the present invention relates to a process for the quantitative determination of the film of gasoline (or its components) deposited on the intake manifold of an engine with controlled ignition using two sets of injectors (I) and (II), which comprises the following steps:
- the measurement of the flow-rate of the in-going air (A i ) is preferably effected by using sensors of the hot wire type.
- the A i /F i ratio on the other hand is preferably determined using oxygen sensors of the UEGO type.
- the overall duration of the process of the present invention is not determining, even if it is preferable for the experiment to last only a few seconds, which is the normal variation time of deposits during transients.
- a typical but non-limiting measurement scheme comprises the beginning of data acquisition during the last few seconds of phase (a), normally from 1 to 3 seconds.
- ⁇ i is the titer of the outgoing mixture as measured by the UEGO probe
- i is the time expressed in hundredths of a second.
- the process of the present invention can be used for quantitatively determining the film deposited on the intake manifold by any gasoline.
- the process can be used for studying not only commercial gasolines, but also the single components and other types of fuel, for example methanol and oxygenated products.
- the process of the present invention has many advantages. Above all it enables fuels to be excellently formulated, avoiding (or greatly reducing) those components which give rise to the formation of deposit.
- a further object of the present invention relates to a system for determining the film of fuel deposited by a fuel, preferably gasoline, on the intake manifold of an engine with controlled ignition (SI engine) which, with reference to figure 1, comprises:
- Figure 1 provides an illustration of the equipment of the present invention.
- (1) represents the injector fed with reference fuel
- (2) represents the injector fed with the fuel under examination
- (3) is the switching relay of the fuel feeding system
- (4) is the switching control and data acquisition system
- (5) is the UEGO oxygen sensor situated on the exhaust pipe
- (6) is the air flow-rate measurer situated upstream of the baffle of the intake manifold
- (7) is a computer for programming the opening time of the injectors
- (8) is an MCS memory emulator
- (9) is a timing activator of the injector.
- the engine selected for the test belongs to the motorcycle production of Hyundai set up by Bimota and is identified with the abbreviation FZ 750: it is a 4-cylinder 4T engine equipped with electronic injection, with water cooling of the cylinders.
- the main characteristics are shown in table 1.
- the manifold is modified with the addition of a second set of in-flow injectors, directed towards the intake valves.
- the engine is arranged so as to be able to function alternatively with the additional injectors fed with a fuel which does not give film deposit (2-methyl-2-butene) or with the original injectors (counterflow) which are fed with the test fuel (or fuel components).
- control boards are interfaced, by means of a memory emulator (MCS), to a computer from which the opening time of the injectors is programmed.
- MCS memory emulator
- the activation of one injection system causes the simultaneous deactivation of the other.
- the switching control is run by a program (AVL) and activated by a deviator-relay.
- the probes (of NKG with an accuracy of ⁇ 0.02 ⁇ and with a response time of 0.1 seconds) are installed in the exhaust pipe at 30 cm from the confluence point of the discharges of the four cylinders.
- the in-flow injectors are fed with 2-methyl-2-butene and the counterflow injectors dedicated to the formation of the deposit with the test fuel.
- the starting of the cold engine is effected with the counterflow injectors fed with the test fuel.
- Both the MCS systems are charged with running files and the opening time of the injector is selected.
- the functionalization of the lambda probe signals is activated and the lambda value is controlled until the above value is equal to 1 ⁇ 0.02 both for the reference and test fuel.
- test is carried out, which consists of two phases, i.e. a first deposit formation phase in which the in-flow injection passes to the counterflow injection, and a second deposit absorption phase in which the counterflow injection passes to the in-flow injection.
- Each phase is repeated three times with relative data acquisition.
